Pup-SysInfo Sensors did not work till I made a system link of zenity to /usr/loal/bin/yad.
I am unsure if you included the required sensor support files.

I do not know, but at least I could not find this in the 001 details list. There is something with the B43, as mentioned in the thread and also experienced by me as well. My D-Link uses that same driver i believe.

A frugal install upgrade will have a few minor problems. you will end up with 2 icons on desktop for the console. Also if something was in Lucid 5.2.5 and is not part of Lucid 5.2.8 it will not be present. This usually deals with icons, wallpapers, and core programs. Stuff you installed in Lucid 5.2.5 will be in the old save file and should carry over.
Here is an example on how to update a frugal install.
Basically you do a new frugal install of Lucid Puppy 528 and put the Lucid 525 save file in it.
2 ways to do it:
Example:
Upgrade of a Bootable USB flash drive frugal install
Boot with a live CD of the new version of Puppy.
Use boot option puppy pfix=ram
Copy the old save file from the USB flash drive
Use Bootflash install Puppy to USB to install the new version to the USB drive.
Copy the old save file to the new install on the drive.
Boot with the USB flash drive.
Old save file will be updated and settings and programs will be used.
Upgrade a frugal install manual way not on USB flash drive.
(Names used are for example only)
Upgrade Puppy 5.0 to Puppy 5.2.5
Download the Puppy 5.2.5.iso file
In Rox-filer (file manager)
Make a new directory like /Puppy525
Left click on Puppy 5.2.5.iso file to open it.
Copy these 3 files to /Puppy525 directory.
initrd.gz
Puppy_525.sfs
vmlinuz
Copy the Puppy 5.0 Puppysave.Xfs file (Your old save file) and place in the /Puppy525 directory.
There are now 4 files in the new /Puppy525 directory.
Run the boot loader configuration program for the boot loader you are using to make a boot option for the new Puppy 5.2.5
When Puppy 5.2.5 boots it will use and update the save file and programs.
When Puppy 5.2.5 seems to be working OK you can delete Puppy 5.0.

kataja, I just made you a diff file but it's 23M in size. I know that's still significantly smaller than the 130M lupu-528, but as long as you have a reasonable internet connection I agree with brown mouse.
If however you have a very slow connection I can put it on my site for you to download.
Diff file here: http://www.smokey01.com/software/iso

There are some instructions somewhere on this forum but I personally do fresh installs myself.

No!!The update 01.pet on page 1(assuming you mean that) is an update to 5.2.8

That appears to be true. Inkscape can't convert the bit-mapped element into Postscript, so it can't print it. In that case, you would have to export the project as a bitmap and print it from another application.

I installed peasyprint, and entered the above code into inkscape lite's print dialogue.
It doesn't work. It generates a corrupted file /root/out.png of 0 bytes.

Yes "simple" graphics like a box and spiral print OK, but if you import a .png image it will be corrupted in the printout.

I did some simple tests with Inkscape and they printed OK to an HP Deskjet.
For a more complicated image, try piping it into PeasyPrint using the command above. Then you can crop it, resize it, etc. Hopefully, your printer can handle that print job.

OK I definitely have a working printer because I just printed an image with mtpaint and it printed fine.
But this inkscape lite is being difficult. The results of lpstat -v
device for CUPS-PDF: pdf-writer:/export/share/pdf/
device for HP_psc_1200_series: usb://HP/psc%201200%20series?serial=MY42AG73JB5H
device for pdf_writer: pdf-writer:/dev/null
In the inkscape lite printer dialogue box I entered:
HP_psc_1200_series
Then i clicked "Print" and it printed, but it was all messed up.
Any ideas?

Also I noticed that inkscape lite refuses to print from the print menu.
This is an old bug that keeps sneaking in.

Mtpaint > file > actions > Configure > Print Image
It should be set to "lpr %f"
Then the printer works.

If you want greater control over printing from mtPaint, link it to PeasyPrint.
